About Rooted Women’s Bible Study

Rooted Women's Bible Study presents Christian Bible teaching in a classroom-like audio format. It is not built around banter. The recent episodes move through the Epistles of John passage by passage, with each session beginning in prayer and then turning to sustained exposition. The teaching keeps returning to assurance. John's letters are presented as pastoral care for believers who need confidence that they know God, possess eternal life, and can remain in the truth. That comfort is paired with warning. False teachers, deceivers, antichrists, and distorted claims about Jesus are treated as serious spiritual threats, especially when they use Christian language while changing the gospel. The show is doctrinally plainspoken. It names the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, sin, confession, propitiation, eternal life, and the finished work of Christ as central categories for understanding the text. The tone is reverent, but it is also emotionally direct. Shame, uncertainty, prayer that feels unanswered, and the exhaustion of competing voices in a noisy age all become entry points for applying Scripture. Recent teaching connects John's language about light and darkness to holiness, fellowship, confession, and the cleansing work of Jesus. It also stresses love for other believers as evidence of walking in the light. The Holy Spirit receives repeated attention as the one given to every believer, dwelling within them and keeping them in truth. Prayer is not treated as a closing formality. It shapes the rhythm of the episodes and often gathers the study's main themes into petition and thanksgiving. Cherie Leatherman introduces herself as someone who has taught women the Bible since 2012, and the show carries that same instructional purpose. It assumes listeners are willing to sit with a passage, hear cross-references, and think carefully about Christian doctrine. The result is steady, text-first teaching for women who want a guided study rather than a topical devotional. Its strength is persistence: the same themes are examined from several angles until assurance, truth, love, and abiding become the spine of the series.

Made for: Rooted Women's Bible Study is for Christian women who want structured, passage-by-passage teaching with prayerful application. It best suits listeners who value doctrinal clarity, Scripture journals, and reflective study over interview-driven discussion.

What sets it apart: The show combines verse-by-verse explanation with repeated pastoral attention to assurance, truth, and abiding in Christ. Its recent John series feels like an extended study session, with prayer and theological application woven through the teaching rather than added afterward.

In their own words

An Interdenominational Women’s Bible Study in Southeast PA with the purpose of studying Scripture that we may through the power of the Holy Spirit, grow in our knowledge of and love for the One true God and the One that He sent, Jesus Christ.

    ["Rooted Women's Bible Study on Matthew 8-9 treats Jesus' authority as the through-line, moving from the Sermon on the Mount to healings, storms, demons, and forgiveness of sins.", "The teacher centers the leper, the Gentile centurion, and Peter's mother-in-law as outsiders whom Jesus touches or heals, and she ties the leper scene to Matthew 8:17 and Isaiah.", "She contrasts the centurion's confidence, the disciples' fear in the storm, and the villagers' request that Jesus leave after the demonized men are delivered, using those reactions to show who recognizes Jesus.", "The session ends on Matthew the tax collector, where Jesus says 'Follow me' and the speaker calls conversion 'the greatest miracle' because Matthew leaves the tax booth immediately."]
